FULL STORY
======================================================================

The Lego Group has already turned memorable moments from classic and iconic 
films into brick-built creations  from Star Wars to Jurassic Park , with 
Disney classics and Transformers in between. Now theyre going back to a true 
classic from 1975. 

JAWS, including Bruce the Shark, the Orca Boat, Police Chief Martin Brody, 
Sam Quint, and biologist Matt Hooper, are all being turned into Lego bricks 
and minifigures. The Lego Ideas Jaw Set will land in early August at $149.99 
(USD). For the unveiling of the nearly 1,500-piece set, Lego has released a 
retelling of the iconic film. (Image credit: Lego) 

JAWS  in a Jiffy  embedded below  is a 90-second Lego version of the classic 
film. Like other Lego films, its family-friendly and offers some extra doses 
of comedy throughout. It even takes on the classic da-dum, da-dum score of 
the film. 

Even neater is that the Lego Ideas Jaws Set and minifigs are featured 
prominently. From the 1,497 pieces, youll build the Orca Boat and an array of 
gear, from a compass, harpoon, spear, and yellow barrels, to the boom and 
rigging used to film the movie. (Image credit: Lego) 

There are two display modes as well  you can rest the boat peacefully with 
the shark on a nearby stand, or more likely you'll have the shark attack the 
Orca, built on a sea-water base youll also construct. It is a Lego Ideas set 
designed for an older builder; you can have fun with it. 

Fans of the classic film will be eager to get their hands on this set and 
build it, but Id also recommend a watch of JAWS  in a Jiffy for a certain 
director making a cameo. Like other Lego Idea sets, this set was originally 
conceived by a fan  Johnny Campbell  and then voted on by the Lego community. 

The Lego Ideas Jaws Set will be available for those in the Insiders program 
on August 3, 2024, and for all to buy on August 6, 2024, for $149.99 (USD) or 
149.99 (EUR). You Might Also Like If you think GPT-4o is something, wait
